Furnace Creek Campground, near the Visitor Center at 190ft below sea level, is the only NPS campground in the park that accepts reservations. It offers full RV hookups and dry RV/tent sites. Reservations can be made up to 6 months in advance for dates between October 15th and April 15th. As the most popular campground in the park, reservations are strongly recommended. From late-April through mid-October each year, the campground reduces to 41 sites and is first-come, first-served.

During the cooler winter season, the campground is fully open. Reservations are accepted from October 15 to April 15. Make reservations from 5 days to 6 months in advance by calling 877-444-6777 or visiting www.recreation.gov. The remainder of the year, the campground reduces to 41 sites and is first-come, first-served. Note: The NPS reserves the right to hold reserved sites at any time due to management needs.
